The Securities Exchange Act of 6 June 1934, signed by President Roosevelt, established the Securities and Exchange Commission, regulated secondary-market trading on national exchanges, required periodic disclosure (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), governed proxy solicitation, prohibited manipulative practices (Section 9, later Rule 10b-5), and gave the SEC oversight of broker-dealers and self-regulatory organisations. The intended effect was to complement the 1933 Act's primary-market disclosure with continuous secondary-market regulation, restore investor confidence shattered by the 1929 crash, and provide federal oversight of US securities markets that became the foundation of post-war American capital-market dominance.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
